Hi everyone! Today I am featuring a word search. This one is a rhyming word search. There are many "make your own word search" programs out there. I did this one using Microsoft Word and Photoshop. I also put a prompt to write a sentence using one of the set of rhyming words at the bottom. I think word searches are fun teaching tools to help with reading and spelling. Word recognition and recognizing the correct spelling of a word are helpful reading skills. Feel free to use this one. Also, if you have any ideas or requests for any other word searches, please feel free to comment or contact me. Thank you!

Giveaway Contest

Everyone likes a chance for a free book, right? Do you know the name of the waterfall pictured here? Do you know where in the world is Clarinda Cloud? If so, comment your answer for a chance to win the book. I will give you a hint. It is in my home state of Vermont! If you don't know.... that is okay. Please comment your suggestion of an elementary school, library, daycare, or children's counselor where I should donate the book if nobody guesses the correct answer. (U.S. addresses only at this time, please.) A free "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book" will be given away at the beginning of next month either way. Thank you!

Please Explore the Site

I just want to remind everyone that it is a good idea to explore the site on a regular basis. I try to add things often. There is much more to this site than the blog. (Although, I try to make the DUO Education Learning Blog fun and informative as well.) Speaking of adding things regularly, I am thinking about making the picture to the left DUO Education's new logo. What do you think? Anyway, there are many helpful pages on DUO Education. Do you or do you know anyone who needs help in math, reading, writing, or study skills? DUO Education offers online tutoring services. It is affordable, individualized, and friendly. How about having an author or illustrator guest speak in your class or library with The Storyteller's Tale Webinar series via the internet? I also have pages with books, activities, and posters that I have created. And... don't forget the game room, where you can play non-violent, educational and strategic games. I constantly try to make DUO Education: new, fun, appealing, educational, insightful, inspiring, and different. I try to make it a community of learning. Please, let me be a resource for you... and if there is anything you want to share, promote, ask, or whatever... please feel free to contact me.

I like it and the words are great for children maybe not real little ones but they are good. I like those kinds of word games too.

Joyce, thank you for popping in. Yes, I like word searches too! I enjoy doing them as an adult...just to unwind sometimes. For children, I think it helps them to learn the spelling of words, because they are constantly remembering the letters in the word in which they are searching.

Oh, Joyce, I forgot to tell you. I do a "letter search" in my "Clarinda Cloud Activity Book." That is kind of practicing the same skill, but for the younger ones.

Thank you for popping in, Brandi. Yes, there are sites that allows you to put in the words you want to have searched and they automatically create a puzzle. But... I did this one using Microsoft Word and Photoshop. And, please stop by again. I admire homeschoolers and do what I can to be a resource.
